This blogging's hard.

You do your best to think up a witty name.
You post a couple of interesting places for others to visit/read, in case they don't know about them, yet,
You post a couple pictures for the more visual types who might run by.
You even throw in the obligatory, always-a-hit, toilet picture and then a funny story or two.
And you get one stinkin non-spam comment and then the author of said comment goes ahead and deletes it like some big internet blog-readin lurkin-chicken.
This is hard!

Google To Blame For Spam-Related Blog Entries, Some Say Oct. 18, 2005

An increased number of so-called 'splog' entries on Google has drawn the ire of prominent bloggers.

A bump-up in the number of spam blogs on Google's Blogspot has drawn the ire of prominent bloggers, and at least one blog search service has stopped indexing posts on the hosting service.

To put it mildly.

Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team and a major investor in the IceRocket blog search engine, was, to put it kindly, blunt in his criticism.

"Well the Sh** hit the fan today," wrote Cuban on his own blog. "The blogosphere was hit by a blogspot.com splogbomb. Someone did the inevitable and wrote a script that created blog after blog and post after post."

To defend itself, IceRocket stopped indexing posts from Google's Blogspot.com domains. "At least for the time being, we shut out adding new blogspot posts to our index until we clean all the bullsh** you dumped on us out of our indexes," wrote Cuban.
